On this screenie we can see Ptolemaic phalanxes in action against the Romans.

We can see units spacing (a bit loose to me...), phalanx formation dynamics (seems pretty brutal), and the cleat difference between Greek phalangites and their native Egyptian counterpart.

What are your thoughts?

Probably a good idea to check at least the first page for threads discussing new screens or info.

My bad, didn't noticed.

Delete please.

What are your thoughts?

That phalangite units aren't even of the proper syntagma size... Which is 256 (16x16)... And that their formation is way too loose.

Multiple threads merged.

This is sounding really great. I love the sound of the family politics. It sounds sort of "Paradox" like.
I hope we get a demo video out of E3 though, September is too far away.

OK people may find this somewhat interesting zoomed in on the Pyramids and adjusted the contrast to show the smaller pyramids but there is also other buildings and while people may think this is great I think that in fact what your looking at is a city in the distance that represents Memphis ( ETW style) and the battle may in fact be the battle to capture the region of Memphis.

We know Memphis wont have a siege map.




Your roughly looking in this direction.

Or, you know, just like in previous titles the Pyramids and the town in front are visible outside the battlemap area. You might recall that about half of the map is water. So my guess is you're looking at a square formed by the eastern bank of the river, the crossing and the northern road.
Or it could be a map that includes the brownish forest to the northeast of Memphis, since that would give you the correct aspect of Pyramids and town in the foreground that is visible in the zoom.
